Getting to know people in Japan
As another response indicates, you'll have a hard time receiving
invitations to Japanese homes. Not impossible, but not likely. Go to google.com and do a search for ryokan and minshuku, the most interesting sort of accommodation in Japan. Not all are inexpensive, but generally they are cheaper than hotels and spas. Listings on web sites usually show costs and locations. Most will have email addresses to which you can send an inquiry. See my article at http://softadventure.net/japan2003article.htm for some ideas about a visit.
